Hey thanks; I think I'll focus on those 2 shows, Mad Men and Entourage lol, I hope its not a guilty pleasure, if it could be something like the reaction you get when you watch entourage, then that would be good, is that a guilty pleasure? I don't know if I could pull of the meeting women part, or the gadget/electronics- e-sports would be good, but I wouldn't be able to compete with the available content anyway, but this was very helpful thanks! | ||

Is it just me or are your topics very broad? I like most of them, but I have no interest in Poker or MMA. So would I just watch your show for the stuff I like and leave for the rest? | ||

A suggestion, have a segment every week where you fire somebody in a really Ari-esque way (run in and shoot him with a paintball gun) off the staff of your show, but have it be the same guy you fire every week. Get creative and cruel with it lol On October 01 2010 03:23 caelym wrote: 19-22: Getting into the business industry, professional networking, meeting women while busy with school and work, e-sports, tv shows (dexter, mad men, entourage, etc), gadgets/electronics just some topics i thought up. you show idea sounds like one of those guilty pleasure shows that guys won't admit to watching. not if you have an outrageously manly things going on | ||

This involves 2 parts, 1) they have enough understanding of the topic matter to appreciate what is going on and 2) you show them something absolutely fucking amazing. When I tried getting my friends into SC I showed them the lurker dodge pimpest play (marine shock squadron). My friends who had gone through the campaign and played a bit of multiplayer freaked out and got real excited. It was lost on my friends who just basically knew what the game was and what it looked like because they couldn't understand how incredible it was. Luckily, though, my other friends freaking out was enough to get them interested and because of that we still play together today. But you probably won't have this luxury on a talk show, so you're going to have to be able to introduce the framework for people to understand something amazing. I don't know anything about MMA but I wrestled for 4 years in high school so I can sort of appreciate what those guys do, but I think really anybody can the way I do. If you had a small, entertaining segment about strategy (like pointing out something subtle but amazing that one fighter does) you could sneak it by me without me knowing. After enough of those, you show an orgasmic culmination of all the techniques training and sweat. I would be pretty excited | ||

Anyways, I think having a western style variety show akin to Oprah is a bit of a stretch considering that you describe your target audience is as young "geeks". There is a reason why Oprah is not on prime time. Her target audience is homewifes with nothing better to do during the day, so they watch Oprah to pass some time. My interpretation (sorry if it is not accurate) is that your audience are urbanites/professionals/jet setters/business men. They typically would not have enough time to go through an entire show if it is too diverse and focus on some features that they may not care about. For example, if I am a someone who is interested in jet setter culture, I would not watch your show if you only devote 10 minutes to jet setting while devoting the remaining time to topics I may not necessarily care about, such as health and fitness. You mentioned GQ in your OP. The thing is, GQ is a magazine, a passive medium. If I wanted to read about fashion and politics, but not sports and automobiles, I can easily skip sections. With a TV show, it is much harder to do so, you may risk alienating some of your audience by having many segments on different topics. If I am a young professional watching your show, seeing stuff like MMA or e-Sports would be off putting, likewise, if I am an MMA enthusiast, seeing stuff about business and e-Sports would be off putting, and if I am an e-Sports follower/gamer.... well you get the idea. I get that in an ideal world, you want your audience to be people who care about all the topics that you talk about, but honestly, that demographic is so small that I don't see you making a profit which such a show. My advice would be to make the focus on business and professional development, with short segments on stuff that may interest your audience, such as health and culture. I would cut out the other stuff that really fit in the spectrum of such a show. Keep in mind this is only my personal opinion, I could be totally wrong and if this is really your dream you should follow it. Cheers! | ||
